On 21 July 2014, One Direction announced One Direction: Where We Are - The Concert Film, a film which documents the concerts of 28 and 29 June 2014 that took place in San Siro Stadium during their Where We Are Tour. After the announcement, the band announced the film would also have a limited 10–11 October 2014 international cinema release before its home media release in November 2014. [130] The group also released an autobiography book titled Who We Are on 25 September 2014. [131] One Direction's rise to fame has been called "meteoric" with the group becoming the first British band to ever have their debut album top the US charts. [247] Forbes noted that their "meteoric rise has surpassed any other boy band in history, NSYNC included". [244] During their continued rise in the United States in 2012, the mania surrounding the group was dubbed "One Direction Infection". [255] That same year, "1D World" stores were opened around the United States as the group worked on their second studio album to meet the high demand for the band and "to give fans the ultimate One Direction experience". [256] Part of the group's rise to popularity was their "atypical construct" in the sense that they don't dance, rarely wear matching outfits, and are heavily tattooed, all three which were rare in boybands of the past. [257] The Huffington Post added that they "didn't just sing cheesy ballads" and instead "embraced their differences". [246] Slate noted that One Direction portrayed more of a "joking" and "fun" manner in their songs, music videos, and individual personas when compared to boy bands of the past. [258] They were credited with breaking "the boy band mold". [259] Despite their differences in that regard, the group still used an approach pioneered by The Beatles in which each member was applied a persona; Horan as "the cute Irish one", Malik as "the quiet and mysterious one", Payne as "the sensible one", Styles as "the charming flirt" and Tomlinson as "the funny one". [260] TMRW Magazine wrote in a 2020 story that the group "helped defy traits typically associated with toxic masculinity" and that "their friendship set them apart, made them more real". [261]
